BENEFITS OF USING TILE ADHESIVES
                     BENEFITS OF USING TILE ADHESIVES
The tile needs to adhere well to the foundation surface whether it is a wall tile
or a floor tile. The expectation is that tile adhesive will keep the tile in place for
a very long time without experiencing de-bonding issues.
Tile adhesive is a pre-mixed glue that is  used to install  tiles in construction
projects. It is made specifically for laying tiles using Portland cement, carefully
chosen fine aggregates, and a few additives.
On  horizontal  and  vertical  masonry  surfaces,  interior  and  external  wall
surfaces, floors, swimming pools, timber substrates, and other substrates, tile
adhesives are used to fix a range of tiles.
There are different uses of Tile adhesives like,
 Flooring:  Tile  adhesives  provide  a  stronger  bond  than  regular  sand-
cement  mortar.  They  are  also  water-resistant  and  can  be  utilised  in
damp  spaces  like  bathrooms,  kitchens,  swimming  pools,  etc.  Various
polymers,  including acrylic,  latex,  and epoxy,  are  used in  conjunction
with adhesives to improve their adhesive characteristics.
 Wall Cladding:  To apply tile adhesives for mounting tiles to walls or wall
cladding, polymers that have non-skid qualities have been improved.
 Fixing Glass and Mosaics: Expensive, high-strength adhesives are used to
fix glass and mosaics. These adhesives are white in colour and can be
utilised in moist or submerged regions since cement is added to them.
 Application between tiles: For this use, specific polymers are blended
with a cementitious mixture to provide the adhesive. They don't slide or
shrink, respectively.
Utilizing tiles adhesives is simple because they are pre-mixed and ready to use;
all you need to do is add water. Unbox the tiles and begin arranging them on
the floor without first soaking them. Without having to wait for the moisture
to dry completely, they can be grouted in a single day.
Quick and effective: Cover an area of around one square metre with the tile
adhesive mixture using a notched trowel. Start putting the tiles after applying,
then immediately reposition them to fit the lines.
Work of high quality: Using adhesives helps prevent cracked tiles, stains, or
efflorescence and also offers  strong bonding and shear  connections for  tile
work that will last for a long time.
